We should be heartily ashamed of recurring to the .subject of Mr. WARDLa.,.and, indeed, should think any 'Parther notice of ificOnsistent ticitll liUrsanity, in his prt..sent fallen state, it' he had not been held 'up as a' mirror of public virtue, and diiinierested pittriotism, by men who have the worst designs against the peace of the Country, and the security of its Government. The popularity which me. WARPLE acquired was of a spurious kind, and what every man of sense must have despised, when if wai highest. It was obtained, too, by such rneans'as : few would hare resorted to, even before the whole of his conduM, with respei to the sub• jed tO he naves his transitory fame, was deve• loped, by the' recent - trial, and now it appears to have been dictated by motives of private hOstility.

'Mr. WARDLE was 'a bubble upon the tide' of popularity; and he has become 'common water again, but not of the cleanest sort, It is impossible that he should, ever recover the least degree of credit with. the Public. As to his attack upon the witnesses, the Jury, •and his own Counsel, this,' must be considered as the language of spleen, mortificatiod, and despair.
